Application filed July 7, 1915. Serial No. 38,585.

To all 'whomit may concern:

Be it known that I, ELEANORE M. Pn'rnns, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lake Forest, in the county of Lake and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bag-Covers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to a cover for hot water or douche bags, syringes -orthe like, and the primary object of the inventlon 1s to provide a device, which is comparativel simple in construction and may be hung in any convenient location, within a bath room or the like, for supporting and concealing hot water bags, douche bags, syringes or the like.

lVith the foregoing and other objects in view this invention consists in such novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and claimed.

In describing the invention. in detail reference will be had to the "accompanying;

drawings wherein like characters designate like and corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a view of the bag, showing the same open, Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the bag, showing the same closed, and Fig. 3 is a view of the supporting structure of the bag.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, 1 designates the supporting frame of the bag, as an entirety, which is formed of a strand of wire bent to assume a rectangular shape. The strand of wire, of which the frame 1 is formed, is coiled at the upper corners, to form rings or convolutions 2, which are provided for receiving hooks, nails or the like for suspending or hanging up the frame 1. The lower cross rail 3 of the frame 1 has a plurality of hooks t slidably mounted thereon. The hooks 1 are formed in any suitable manner, and if it is desired, they may be formed of a strand of wire, bent to form a hook portion indicated at 5, and an eye indicated at 6, which eye'is slidably mounted upon the cross rod 3. A double hook 8 is provided, which includes two hooks or side bars 9 and 10,

which have the upper ends of their hook portions 11, joined by a cross bar 12. The double hook 8 is provided for supporting rubber or flexible tubes or hose so as to prevent them from bending or crimping.

The frame 1 has a cross bar 11 secured to the ends'lf) and 16 thereof, substantially equidistant of the side bars 17 and 3. A

flexible curtain 18 is secured to the crossbar let, in any suitable manner. The our tain 18 may be constructed of any suitable type of material,'but rubberized fabric is preferred. The curtain 18 may be attached to the bar 1-1, either by foldingthe end of the curtain over the bar and stitching it to the body of the curtain, or by means of clasps or analogous fastening devices, indicated at 20. The curtain 18 hangs downwardly from the cross bar 1%, and it isprovided with a plurality of sockets 21 spaced along its upper edge and along its side edges, which sockets are provided for co-acting with buttons 22'carried by the curtain along its lower edge, and along the lower portions of its side edges, as is clearly shown inFig. 1 of the drawings. IVhen the curtain is folded, asis shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings, the buttonsQQ co-act "with the sockets 21 for securely holding the lower portion of the curtain in a folded position, for forming an inclosing cover for hot water bags, douche bags or the like, as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 1 of the drawings.

The inner surface of the curtain 18 has a fabric strip 28 secured thereto substantially equi-distant of its ends. The lower edge of the fabric strip 23 is sewed or stitched to the curtain 18, as is shown at 2%, while the upper edge is free from connection with the curtain. The strip 23 is stitched to the curtam at spaced lntervals along its length, as

indicated at 25, for forming pockets, as is shown at 26, which may be utilized for retaining the various tips or nozzles used in connection with a douche bag or syringe, as is indicated at 27, in Fig. 1. The pockets 26 may be utilized for any other purpose desired.

In reducing the invention to practice, certain minor features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts may necessitate alteration, to which the patentee is entitled, provided such alterations are comprehended within the scope of what is claimed.

What is claimed is 1. In a bag cover, the comblnation, of a substantlally rectangular frame, a cross bar carried by said frame equi-distant of its side edges, a plurality of hooks slidably mounted upon one of the sides of said rectangular frame, and a flexible curtain connected to said cross bar. 7 v

2. In a bag cover, the combination, of a rectangular supporting frame, a cross bar carried by the ends of said supporting frame substantially equi-distant of its side edges, a plurality of hooks slidably mounted upon. the lower side edge of said rectangular frame, a flexible curtain connected to said cross bar, a plurality of fasteners carried by the upper edge of said curtain, said curtain adapted for having its lower free end folded. upwardly for engagement with the end secured to said bar for forming a cover for bags hanging upon said hooks.

3 In a bag cover, the combination, of a substantially rectangular frame, a crossbar carried by the ends of said frame substantially equi-distant of its ends, a flexible curtain secured to said cross bar and hanging downwardly therefrom, a plurality of books slidably carried by the lower-side edge of said rectangular frame, said curtain adapted for folding for positioning its lower edge in engagement with the upper end of the cur-. tain which is attached to said cross bar, and fasteners carried by said curtain for holding said lower edge in a folded position, a fabric .strlp sewed to the inner surface of SaldflGXlof bending of the curtain during folding, said strip being stitched for forming a plurality of pockets.

4. In a bag cover, a substantially rectangular supporting frame constructed of a strand of wire, said strand, of wire being coiledat the upper corresponding'corners of said frame for forming hook engaging mem- .bers, a cross bar secured to the ends of said frame substantially equi-clistant of its sides, a plurality of books adjustably carried by the lower side of said frame, a cross bar'secured to the ends of said frame substantially equi-distant of its ends, a curtain connected to said cross bar and extending downwardly therefrom, the lower end of said curtain adapted for folding upwardly for engagement with the edge of saidcurtain ELEANORE M.
